This is the error im getting when I start logstash.

[2017-08-31T18:59:33,010][INFO][logstash.pipeline] Starting pipeline {"id"=\>"main", "pipeline.workers"=\>4, "pipeline.batch.size"=\>125, "pipeline.batch.delay"=\>5, "pipeline.max\_inflight"=\>500}  
[2017-08-31T18:59:33,027][INFO][logstash.pipeline] Pipeline main started  
[2017-08-31T18:59:34,041][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=\>9600}  
[2017-08-31T18:59:37,031][WARN][logstash.agent] stopping pipeline {:id=\>"main"}
